    Pittsburgh '98. I was at this show and a few years back finally found the print on EBay, for which I paid a small fortune. I kick myself because I remember seeing the poster hung up at the merch. tent and there were several still available. One question: because I purchased on eBay, how does one authenticate whether the print is indeed real. Is there a way to tell? The size perfectly matches the specs for the poster but are there tell-tale signs of a fake? I'm 99.99% this is legitimate but wonder if anyone has any thoughts otherwise.

    Since you already bought it and hung it, do you really want to know the answer?
    Thanks for your contribution. Any serious responses? Yes I want to know the answer. If it's fake, then I'll find and buy the real one.
    I'd be confident that it's the real deal. And is that a quintuple mat??!!
    Thanks dude! Hahaha yeah I definitely went a little overheard in framing it. Hahah.

    there's not really a counterfeit issue with PJ posters,
    a few isolated incidents...

    Looks great though! All the colors match up nicely & it gives it a little bit of a shadowbox/3D effect. Pulls your eyes into the artwork.

    Thanks man!!! I really appreciate it and think you're right not to worry about the PJ fakes. I heard the same thing that the fakes are usually obvious. I think I get anxious because it was my first PJ show--ten club 8th row! back before they did the GA Pit; I am one of the dumbos who didn't renew membership and lost an extremely low number--and had been looking for the poster forever.

    I'm guessing it's legit, Pittsburgh 98 would be a random one to bootleg. Are bootleg posters even a thing?

    Isn't bootleg copying a crime

    Thanks a lot, man! I think I like Pittsburgh and Vancouver the best out of the Yield Tour posters. I'm biased toward the former only because I was at the show and have always lived in rust belt, blue collar towns.

    ^^ Nice job on the Sperry. I'm dying to frame mine but I dont' have a mat cutter that's big enough. I haven't figured out if I will just skip the mats or not. Yours doesn't have one, does it?

    Where did you ever find the Charlotte '96 Emek print?? The red frame and white matting is absolutely perfect.
